Stamford Tyres Corporation

The company attributed its stellar results to higher profit from its joint ventures in Hong Kong and India, which climbed from $1.8 million in 2016 to $2.6 million.

Earnings per share was 3.44 cents for the year, while net asset value as at April 30 was 52.59 cents, up from 49.88 cents as of April 30 last year. It declared a final dividend of 1.5 cents per ordinary share.

Despite its strong performance, the company said its operating environment will continue to be challenging.
